Upon turning right at this intersection, are you obliged to stop before the traffic light?
Description
Art. 3 para. 1, Art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 2012, item 1137 and 1448) and § 96 para. 1 and 3 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
At the visible intersection, the traffic light shows red, which requires the driver to stop. If a green arrow is displayed (S-2 signal), the turning manoeuvre is permitted, but according to § 96 para. 3 of the Regulation, it is mandatory to stop before the signal first. Only after stopping and ensuring that it will not cause a traffic obstruction can you continue driving.
